Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer says she’ll miss ‘mischief’ on set as thriller comes to an end
KILLING Eve star Jodie Comer has spoken of the fun she has playing assassin Villanelle, as she revealed she is working on the BBC spy thriller’s final two episodes.
The popular cat-and-mouse thriller, starring Comer as the Russian assassin and Sandra Oh as now-former MI5 agent Eve Polastri, will end with its fourth series, due to premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2022.
Appearing on This Morning, above, Jodie, 28, said: “The thing that I will miss the most is not having to apologise for anything.
“All the mischief that I get away with, there’s something just so fun about that.”
The 28-year-old Liverpudlian has received critical acclaim for the role, winning the leading actress TV Bafta in 2019 and also an Emmy.
Comer appeared on This Morning alongside her friend Stephen Graham, with whom she stars in Channel 4 drama Help, which airs on September 16.
Written by Jack Thorne and directed by Marc Munden, Help is set in a fictional Liverpool care home in spring 2020.
It tells the moving story of the relationship between a young care home worker, Sarah (played by Comer), and a patient named Tony (played by Graham), a 47-year-old man with young-onset Alzheimer’s whose lives are changed forever by the coronavirus pandemic.
